The Tip Jar

This one's for the knitters: if you have to bind off in the middle of the row, or when knitting in the round, here's a way to avoid the ugly gap at the beginning of the bind-off. Work up to one stitch before the first bind off stitch, then work KFB before. Knit or purl your first stitch to be bound off, then pass the last (increased) stitch over. This does NOT count as one of your bind-off stitches, so continue binding off as usual. The ugly gap is GONE!
